To live a great life is to discover the life you have right now, instead of trying to invent a whole new life."
~Betty Mahalik


Poem Artwork

I spent many years searching but I could not find that for which I explored
As a child I searched in my mothers’ eyes and I called out in prayer to my lord
As I got older I hunted, studied and surveyed
Trying to find it for myself in a lifetime trade
But, what it was I was looking for nowhere in sight
Each time I felt I got close it seemed to up and take flight
I found a beautiful girl and gave myself to her with love that is true
Hoping that for which I explored could be found in her eyes of blue
Alas I felt I had failed to discover that for which I sought
For it couldn’t be won, gained merited or bought
I became distraught for it seemed unreachable and hopeless
I found myself dwelling in despair and overcome with stress
Then I looked into a mirror and looking back at me was he
The one who had the power of what my life would come to be
I had searched for a great life but I had not searched my own personality
For the one person who will make my life is none other than me

[AKA Ted L Glines] Right on, Lew! What a sadness when we spend a whole life searching fruitlessly outside for what is truly within us. Turned 65, huh? From your pic, you are wearing your years very well. Happy birthday :)

We have to play the cards we were dealt and try to improve our hand as we travel this earth.
What a marvelous pic. Pure love
